HAARP, what they dont tell you on TV

The information Im posting on this subject is kind of a work in progress for me at the moment into the need/use/and potential effects of facilities
such as the HAARP arrays. Please let me know what you guys think, any comments gratefully recieved

HAARP will zap the upper atmosphere with a focused and steerable electromagnetic beam. It is an advanced model of an "ionospheric heater." (The
ionosphere is the electrically-charged sphere surrounding Earth's upper atmosphere. It ranges between 40 to 60 miles above the surface of the
Earth.)
Put simply, the apparatus for HAARP is a reversal of a radio telescope; antenna send out signals instead of receiving. HAARP is the test run for a
super-powerful radiowave-beaming technology that lifts areas of the ionosphere by focusing a beam and heating those areas. Electromagnetic waves then
bounce back onto earth and penetrate everything -- living and dead.
HAARP publicity gives the impression that the High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program is mainly an academic project with the goal of changing
the ionosphere to improve communications for our own good. However, other U.S. military documents put it more clearly -- HAARP aims to learn how to
"exploit the ionosphere for Department of Defense purposes." Communicating with submarines is only one of those purposes.
Press releases and other information from the military on HAARP continually downplay what it could do. Publicity documents insist that the HAARP
project is no different than other ionospheric heaters operating safely throughout the world in places such as Arecibo, Puerto Rico, Tromso, Norway,
and the former Soviet Union. However, a 1990 government document indicates that the radio-frequency (RF) power zap will drive the ionosphere to
unnatural activities.
" ... at the highest HF powers available in the West, the instabilities commonly studied are approaching their maximum RF energy dissipative
capability, beyond which the plasma processes will 'runaway' until the next limiting factor is reached."
If the military, in cooperation with the University of Alaska Fairbanks, can show that this new ground-based "Star Wars" technology is sound, they
both win. The military has a relatively-inexpensive defense shield and the University can brag about the most dramatic geophysical manipulation since
atmospheric explosions of nuclear bombs. After successful testing, they would have the military megaprojects of the future and huge markets for
Alaska's North Slope natural gas.
Looking at the other patents which built on the work of a Texas' physicist named Bernard Eastlund, it becomes clearer how the military intends to use
the HAARP transmitter. It also makes governmental denials less believable. The military knows how it intends to use this technology, and has made it
clear in their documents. The military has deliberately misled the public, through sophisticated word games, deceit and outright disinformation.
The military says the HAARP system could:
*
Give the military a tool to replace the electromagnetic pulse effect of atmospheric thermonuclear devices (still considered a viable option by the
military through at least 1986)
*
Replace the huge Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) submarine communication system operating in Michigan and Wisconsin with a new and more compact
technology
*
Be used to replace the over-the-horizon radar system that was once planned for the current location of HAARP, with a more flexible and accurate
system
*
Provide a way to wipe out communications over an extremely large area, while keeping the military's own communications systems working
*
Provide a wide area earth-penetrating tomography which, if combined with the computing abilities of EMASS and Cray computers, would make it possible
to verify many parts of nuclear nonproliferation and peace agreements
*
Be a tool for geophysical probing to find oil, gas and mineral deposits over a large area
*
Be used to detect incoming low-level planes and cruise missiles, making other technologies obsolete
The above abilities seem like a good idea to all who believe in sound national defense, and to those concerned about cost-cutting. However, the
possible uses which the HAARP records do not explain, and which can only be found in Air Force, Army, Navy and other federal agency records, are
alarming. Moreover, effects from the reckless use of these power levels in our natural shield -- the ionosphere -- could be cataclysmic according to
some scientists.
Two Alaskans put it bluntly. A founder of the NO HAARP movement, Clare Zickuhr, says "The military is going to give the ionosphere a big kick and see
what happens."
The military failed to tell the public that they do not know what exactly will happen, but a Penn State science article brags about that uncertainty.
Macho science? The HAARP project uses the largest energy levels yet played with by what Begich and Manning call "the big boys with their new toys."
HAARP is an experiment in the sky, and experiments are done to find out something not already known. Independent scientists told Begich and Manning
that a HAARP-type "skybuster" with its unforeseen effects could be an act of global vandalism.
HAARP History
The patents described below were the package of ideas which were originally controlled by ARCO Power Technologies Incorporated (APTI), a subsidiary of
Atlantic Richfield Company, one of the biggest oil companies in the world. APTI was the contractor that built the HAARP facility. ARCO sold this
subsidiary, the patents and the second phase construction contract to E-Systems in June 1994.
E-Systems is one of the biggest intelligence contractors in the world -- doing work for the CIA, defense intelligence organizations and others. $1.8
billion of their annual sales are to these organizations, with $800 million for black projects -- projects so secret that even the United States
Congress isn't told how the money is being spent.
E-Systems was bought out by Raytheon, which is one of the largest defense contractors in the world. In 1994 Raytheon was listed as number forty-two on
the Fortune 500 list of companies. Raytheon has thousands of patents, some of which will be valuable in the HAARP project. The twelve patents below
are the backbone of the HAARP project, and are now buried among the thousands of others held in the name of Raytheon. Bernard J. Eastlund's U.S.
Patent # 4,686,605, "Method and Apparatus for Altering a Region in the Earth's Atmosphere, Ionosphere; and/or Magnetosphere," was sealed for a year
under a government Secrecy Order.
The Eastlund ionospheric heater was different; the radio frequency (RF) radiation was concentrated and focused to a point in the ionosphere. This
difference throws an unprecedented amount of energy into the ionosphere. The Eastlund device would allow a concentration of one watt per cubic
centimeter, compared to others only able to deliver about one millionth of one watt.
This huge difference could lift and change the ionosphere in the ways necessary to create futuristic effects described in the patent. According to the
patent, the work of Nikola Tesla in the early 1900's formed the basis of the research.
What would this technology be worth to ARCO, the owner of the patents? They could make enormous profits by beaming electrical power from a powerhouse
in the gas fields to the consumer without wires.
For a time, HAARP researchers could not prove that this was one of the intended uses for HAARP. In April, 1995, however, Begich found other patents,
connected with a "key personnel" list for APTI. Some of these new APTI patents were indeed a wireless system for sending electrical power.
Eastlund's patent said the technology can confuse or completely disrupt airplanes' and missiles' sophisticated guidance systems. Further, this
ability to spray large areas of Earth with electromagnetic waves of varying frequencies, and to control changes in those waves, makes it possible to
knock out communications on land or sea as well as in the air.
The patent said:
"Thus, this invention provides the ability to put unprecedented amounts of power in the Earth's atmosphere at strategic locations and to maintain
the power injection level particularly if random pulsing is employed, in a manner far more precise and better controlled than heretofore accomplished
by the prior art, particularly by detonation of nuclear devices of various yields at various altitudes... "
"...it is possible not only to interfere with third party communications but to take advantage of one or more such beams to carry out a
communications network even though the rest of the world's communications are disrupted. Put another way, what is used to disrupt another's
communications can be employed by one knowledgeable of this invention as a communication network at the same time."
"... large regions of the atmosphere could be lifted to an unexpectedly high altitude so that missiles encounter unexpected and unplanned drag forces
with resultant destruction."
"Weather modification is possible by, for example, altering upper atmosphere wind patterns by constructing one or more plumes of atmospheric
particles which will act as a lens or focusing device.
... molecular modifications of the atmosphere can take place so that positive environmental effects can be achieved. Besides actually changing the
molecular composition of an atmospheric region, a particular molecule or molecules can be chosen for increased presence. For example, ozone, nitrogen,
etc., concentrations in the atmosphere could be artificially increased."
Begich found eleven other APTI Patents. They told how to make "Nuclear-sized Explosions without Radiation," Power-beaming systems, over-the-horizon
radar, detection systems for missiles carrying nuclear warheads, electromagnetic pulses previously produced by thermonuclear weapons and other
Star-Wars tricks. This cluster of patents underlay the HAARP weapon system.
Related research by Begich and Manning uncovered bizarre schemes. For example, Air Force documents revealed that a system had been developed for
manipulating and disturbing human mental processes through pulsed radio-frequency radiation (the stuff of HAARP) over large geographical areas. The
most telling material about this technology came from writings of Zbigniew Brzezinski (former National Security Advisory to U.S. President Carter) and
J.F. MacDonald (science advisor to U.S. President Johnson and a professor of Geophysics at UCLA), as they wrote about use of power-beaming
transmitters for geophysical and environmental warfare. The documents showed how these effects might be caused, and the negative effects on human
heath and thinking.
The mental-disruption possibilities for HAARP are the most disturbing. More than 40 pages of the book, with dozens of footnotes, chronicle the work of
Harvard professors, military planners and scientists as they plan and test this use of the electromagnetic technology. For example, one of the papers
describing this use was from the International Red Cross in Geneva. It even gave the frequency ranges where these effects could occur -- the same
ranges which HAARP is capable of broadcasting.
The following statement was made more than twenty-five years ago in a book by Brzezinski which he wrote while a professor at Columbia University:
"Political strategists are tempted to exploit research on the brain and human behavior. Geophysicist Gordon J.F. MacDonald, a specialist in problems
of warfare, says accurately-timed, artificially-excited electronic strokes could lead to a pattern of oscillations that produce relatively high power
levels over certain regions of the earth ... in this way one could develop a system that would seriously impair the brain performance of very large
populations in selected regions over an extended period"
" ... no matter how deeply disturbing the thought of using the environment to manipulate behavior for national advantages, to some, the technology
permitting such use will very probably develop within the next few decades."
In 1966, MacDonald was a member of the President's Science Advisory Committee and later a member of the President's Council on Environmental
Quality. He published papers on the use of environmental control technologies for military purposes. The most profound comment he made as a
geophysicist was, "the key to geophysical warfare is the identification of environmental instabilities to which the addition of a small amount of
energy would release vastly greater amounts of energy." While yesterday's geophysicists predicted today's advances, are HAARP program managers
delivering on the vision?
The geophysicists recognized that adding energy to the environmental soup could have large effects. However, humankind has already added substantial
amounts of electromagnetic energy into our environment without understanding what might constitute critical mass. The book by Begich and Manning
raises questions:
* Have these additions been without effect, or is there a cumulative amount beyond which irreparable damage can be done?
* Is HAARP another step in a journey from which we cannot turn back?
* Are we about to embark on another energy experiment which unleashes another set of demons from Pandora's box?
As early as 1970, Zbigniew Brzezinski predicted a "more controlled and directed society" would gradually appear, linked to technology. This society
would be dominated by an elite group which impresses voters by allegedly superior scientific know-how. Angels Don't Play This HAARP further quotes
Brzezinski:
"Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by using the latest modern
techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control. Technical and scientific momentum would then feed
on the situation it exploits," Brzezinski predicted.
His forecasts proved accurate. Today, a number of new tools for the "elite" are emerging, and the temptation to use them increases steadily. The
policies to permit the tools to be used are already in place. How could the United States be changed, bit by bit, into the predicted highly-controlled
technosociety? Among the "steppingstones" Brzezinski expected were persisting social crises and use of the mass media to gain the public's
confidence.
In another document prepared by the government, the U.S. Air Force claims: "The potential applications of artificial electromagnetic fields are
wide-ranging and can be used in many military or quasi-military situations... Some of these potential uses include dealing with terrorist groups,
crowd control, controlling breaches of security at military installations, and antipersonnel techniques in tactical warfare. In all of these cases the
EM (electromagnetic) systems would be used to produce mild to severe physiological disruption or perceptual distortion or disorientation. In addition,
the ability of individuals to function could be degraded to such a point that they would be combat ineffective. Another advantage of electromagnetic
systems is that they can provide coverage over large areas with a single system. They are silent and countermeasures to them may be difficult to
develop... One last area where electromagnetic radiation may prove of some value is in enhancing abilities of individuals for anomalous
phenomena."
Do these comments point to uses already somewhat developed? The author of the government report refers to an earlier Air Force document about the uses
of radio frequency radiation in combat situations. (Here Begich and Manning note that HAARP is the most versatile and the largest
radio-frequency-radiation transmitter in the world.)
The United States Congressional record deals with the use of HAARP for penetrating the earth with signals bounced off of the ionosphere. These signals
are used to look inside the planet to a depth of many kilometers in order to locate underground munitions, minerals and tunnels. The U.S. Senate set
aside $15 million dollars in 1996 to develop this ability alone -- earth-penetrating-tomography. The problem is that the frequency needed for
earth-penetrating radiation is within the frequency range most cited for disruption of human mental functions. It may also have profound effects on
migration patterns of fish and wild animals which rely on an undisturbed energy field to find their routes.
As if electromagnetic pulses in the sky and mental disruption were not enough, T. Eastlund bragged that the super-powerful ionospheric heater could
control weather.
Begich and Manning brought to light government documents indicating that the military has weather-control technology. When HAARP is eventually built
to its full power level, it could create weather effects over entire hemispheres. If one government experiments with the world's weather patterns,
what is done in one place will impact everyone else on the planet. Angels Don't Play This HAARP explains a principle behind some of Nikola Tesla's
inventions -- resonance -- which affect planetary systems.

Here is a bit regarding HAARP and the Fried Birds (which you can look up threads on TB2k also), from 2001 in Tennessee.
Randall presented live and audio taped eyewitness testimony of the destructive effects of the electronic attack, including a tell-tale flashing blue
pulse that accompanied the destruction, and usually accompanies the discharge of electromagnetic pulse weapons. He also presented audio recordings of
the audible electronic hum that accompanied the alleged attack, a clear electronic signature of an electromagnetic weapon attack.
The accompanying surges during the event fit the pattern of an electronic attack. According to WJKM, " These surges are not just coming into the
power lines. They are also entering the radio station through phone lines and the antenna system. This is evident in blown telephone equipment.
Sometimes the equipment is not destroyed but the program settings are scrambled or wiped out."
On the air, Randall described photographs of dead, electronically-fried birds that littered a mile-square area around the radio station, now posted on
the station's Internet website at www.haarp.net...

Here is some information from a very reliable source on the subject who knows what he is talking about.

By Guy Cramer
As political and military experts on News talk shows discuss with all seriousness, the potential for a tactical nuclear response from the U.S. for the
mounting bio-terror attacks, it should be pointed out that geophysics warfare weapons such as HAARP are making nuclear retaliation obsolete.
This military array in Alaska and others like it around the world have the potential to deliver an equivalent nuclear detonation to a long-range
target without warning, without the missile and without the radiation. One of 12 U.S. HAARP patents is titled: U.S. Patent 4873928: Nuclear-Sized
Explosions Without Radiation
HAARP was constructed under the SDI (Strategic Defense Initiative) other wise known as "Star Wars .
The High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP) is a congressionally initiated program jointly managed by the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy.
Using 3 gigawatts of power (3 billion watts) from a 23-acre site in Gakona, Alaska, it is considered the most powerful array on Earth.
Another ability of an array such as HAARP could be used to heat radiate people within a large yet distant target, even a buried underground bunker or
cave network. This would minimize public and international opposition to such a response as the effects, although not as visual as tactical nuclear
detonations, provides a similar broad termination of targets. The world may not even realize anything had happened and thus large-scale enemy losses
in one location without physical munitions detonations may be played down or passed off as conventional combat or Special Forces action.
The trick to using such a weapon with underground targets is to find the target in the first place. The same array that may be used to deliver the
effect can also be used to penetrate deep into the ground to find the target. HAARP can in effect be used for Earth-penetrating tomography, which can
reveal the existence of underground installations.
The HAARP complex consists of 180 towers, 72 feet in height, forming a "high-power, high frequency phased array radio transmitter". Military
applications of HAARP include long-range ground penetration radar, over the horizon radar, submarine communication…

The basics for Ground penetration or target neutralization is to use the antenna array to target and heat the ionosphere in the upper atmosphere to
create a lens to bounce or reflect a signal off to a target of great distance. Although some distances may be to far to reach a target if it is on the
other side of the globe.

Moon Bounce

In late 1998 and early 1999 the ELFRAD GROUP monitored a daily frequency from .9 to .95 hertz (pulses per second), the wavelength of this frequency
was approximately 319,877km or 198,711 miles. The moon's distance is fairly close to the wavelength. The signal appears to be a controlled signal
transmitted from an unknown source at approximately the same time daily except weekends. The signal is strong enough to generate it's third harmonic
which is 2.81235 hz. The signal has a very quick rise time and a slower decay at the end, which is usually indicative of an artificial source. A low
pass filtered showed the signal tracks very well with the magnetometers placed in various locations around the planet especially those in the northern
area.

Lets pick apart the data above. A Ultra Low Frequency signal in late 1998 through early 1999 from an unknown source which occurs only on week days,
powerful enough to create a third harmonic wave, with a quick rise slow decay which tracks better with magnetometers in the North and a wavelength
approximately matching the distance to the moon. The answer seems apparent HAARP or a similar array in the North is bouncing signals off the Moon back
to the Earth.

Why would you want to bounce signals off the Moon?

To reach targets around the world you could design a floating mobile HAARP that would have to equal the surface area of five large aircraft carriers
or 8 super tankers tied together costing billions of dollars, or you could use a stationary permanent array such as HAARP and use the moon as a
reflector to effectively bounce your signals anywhere on Earth given mutual Moon visibility between the source and the target!

Ham radio enthusiasts call this reflection technique EME (Earth-Moon-Earth) or Moonbounce, and have been utilizing the moon with High Frequencies
since the 1950s to communicate around the world. HAARP can transmit both Low and High Frequencies.

Israeli HAARP?

It is rumoured that Israel has access to a similar array, which would increase mutual moon visibility in the Middle East region for Moonbounce
transmission, but proximity to any targets in this area might be close enough to an Israeli array that Ionosphere reflection might be possible around
the clock.

Tactical Nuclear retaliation by the U.S. during the War on Terrorism is in effect obsolete, given that the Americans could Tactically strike with a
geophysics array producing similar damage associated with nuclear detonation, without the long term detrimental effects and downwind radioactive
fallout. Other alternative uses of the array such as radiating transmissions may provide similar biological target termination without any blast
effects. Moonbounce techniques also mean that a stationary array can in effect target anywhere on the Earth.

Star Wars now seems an appropriate term for this particular Strategic Defense Initiative using HAARP to utilize the Moon as a potential Death Star!

It is also "interesting" that the only missile defense that is "operational" is at Ft Greely Alaska. Just south of the HAARP array. Sources say
it is to protect HAARP from N Korea or Middle East attacks. Planners forsaw a mass missile attack on the facility could overwhelm the computer
targeting system of HAARP.

Dr Horacid......couldnt the military simply undego a modernisation of the HAARP software to combat this overloading you talk about??? With the arrival
of so many supercomputers, it would be logical to permanently upgrade the HAARP capability to identify and destroy numerous targets without the help
of any other active missile site? Just thinking out loud here:>
